You can make as much as you want. However, if you start drawing Social Security benefits before full retirement age you can earn $16,920/yr. for 2017. If you earn more than that, one dollar in benefits will be withheld for every $2 in earnings above the limit. Once you reach full retirement age, that limit stops.
